I know nobody at Netbird will see this but I just finished setting up netbird via podman quadlets with traefik and its absolutely amazing!! I was using headscale before. I'm getting near at home speeds and I'm using the stun server as I can't get a direct connection because of firewalls. The dashboard and documentation is mint and I can't thank the people at netbird enough for the recent huge update that makes setting it up so much easier.

Next to my Home Assistant this is my second favourite and important piece in my homelab.

This is why I love open source!

Thank you!!

I tried moving from tailscale to netbird, and while I did get access to my home assistant instance, I got unauthorized errors when trying to load mini graph cards on my dashboard. Instead of tinkering I went back to tailscale - at least for now.

Whats wrong with running both and tinkering on netbird till you fix it?

Ip addresses. Netbird uses the same ip when external, while tailscale has a different internal one. So I need to reconfigure the home assistant client differently for each.
